jQuery ajax not loading content into page

Question

Im using PHP cURL to connect to another server, post data and return it to my page. It has worked up until now, this situation is a little different. I am using the following and it sucks.

$(document).click(function() { 
$("#SymbolSearchForm").submit(function() {
$.ajax({
 url: "PHP/Kinetick_Symbol_Search.php",
 type: "post",
 dataType: "HTML",
  success: function(html){
    var end = "{ENDKINETICK}";
    $("#return").append(html.substring(html.indexOf("{STARTKINETICK}"), html.indexOf(end) + end.length));
}

});
});

the url im submitting to returns an entire page, I'm trying to trim out all content except what is between the {STARTKINETICK} AND {ENDKINETICK} tags it returns. Currently it loads the entire page for a split second into the div, then goes white. Any ideas?

thx, Kane

Answer 1

maybe try a different approach but nothing jumps out that would make the page react like you stated.

html = html.match(/{STARTKINETICK}(.*?){ENDKINETICK}/)[1];
$("#return").append(html);
